Probably the biggest part of Friday night's Game 4 of the NBA Finals came when it was over and Charles Barkley announced he would be retiring from television after the 2024-2025 season.
Barkley and his cohorts on TNT's "Inside the NBA" -- Ernie Johnson, Kenny Smith and Shaquille O'Neal -- are some of the main faces of the NBA.
Their show is not only informative but highly entertaining.
The standard line is only two people can openly speak their mind without repercussions: Old people and Barkley.
The NBA is in TV contract negotiations and no one knows if Warner Bros. Discovery, which owns TNT, will be part of it. But Barkley let it be known he would not be working for anyone but TNT.
